Fido can be fashionable now too with this new pet footwear.

If you're a Crocs convert, then maybe you've been wishing your pooch could have a pair to coordinate outfits.

After all, some brands are already selling matching jumpers or a collar to match your engagement ring, so why not have a set of shoes too.

A hashtag on TikTok has gone viral for dogcrocs and dogsincrocs with 53.9 million and 32.3 million views, respectively.

The shoes aren't official Crocs but fans are loving them anyway.

There's only one size available, 2.76 inches by 1.57 inches, but they come in five colours.

Plenty of outfit options!

They’re made from durable PVC material with an anti-slip base to keep your pup safe.

Lisa Lippman, a celebrity veterinarian director of virtual medicine at Bond Vet told the HuffPost: "They claim to have anti-slip properties so might be helpful, but otherwise, no hiking or long walks,”

“I’d def recommend them overall for cute moments and if you find your pet has less slippage in them, then they may have short use function as well.”

I“I love shoes that are fashion and function as long as they are comfortable and appropriate for a pet to wear,” Lippman said. “Shoes can be protective from the elements, like hot pavement, frostbite from snow [and] snow melt, which can be irritating.”
